Data-acquisition module
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 8/1/2006
Data Translation's DT9841-VIB Sleek Box combines eight analog inputs, two analog outputs, and 16 digital I/O lines with a 32-bit floating-point digital signal processor. Connected to a PC over USB, the module's simultaneously sampled analog inputs feature 24-bit resolution and a 100-ksamples/s acquisition rate per channel. The DT9841-VIB also provides excitation (programmable 4-mA current source), signal conditioning (AC or DC coupling), and filtering (10-kHz Butterworth filter) for integrated electronics piezoelectric (IEPE) accelerometers.
DSP software support includes Texas Instrument's Code Composer Studio as well as Microsoft Visual Studio. You can also use MEscope from Vibrant Technology for post-processing of captured data.
Price: $5690. Data Translation, www.datatranslation.com.
